Glenn Beck Recreates Lee Harvey Oswald's JFK Shots with Expert Scott Robertson

Recreating Oswald's Shots

• 🎯 Glenn Beck and Scott Robertson attempted to recreate Lee Harvey Oswald's three shots at JFK using an exact replica of Oswald's modified rifle and ammunition.
• 💥 The experiment involved shooting at targets from a moving vehicle, simulating the conditions in Dallas.
• 💡 The goal was to determine if the shots, particularly the difficult ones, could realistically be made under those circumstances.

The Shooting Experiment Details

• 📍 The recreation took place at the Side by Side Ranch in Oklahoma, a specialized shooting facility.
• 🚜 Glenn Beck operated a tractor pulling a vehicle with bouncing targets, while Scott Robertson, a renowned shooter, provided expertise.
• ⚠️ Challenges included a left-handed shooter with a right-handed gun, a wobbly elevated platform, and a moving target vehicle.
• 🎯 Despite difficulties, Beck successfully hit all three targets, proving the shots were possible.

Analysis of Ballistics and Discrepancies

• 🔬 All three bullets from the recreation lodged in a small group in the front windshield of the target vehicle.
• ❓ This grouping raised questions, as the bullets were offset to the left and hit the windshield rather than the driver or passenger.
• ⚠️ The Warren Commission's account stated the first shot missed entirely and the head shot bullet disintegrated, which the experiment suggests is unlikely.
• 🚗 The experiment indicated that the driver should have been hit, and potentially killed, given the trajectory and grouping of the shots.

Expert Shooter's Perspective

• 🏆 Scott Robertson, a highly decorated competitive shooter and Hall of Fame inductee, assisted with the technical aspects.
• 🤔 Robertson expressed initial skepticism about the feasibility of the shots but was impressed by Beck's success.
• 💡 He noted that while the pressure of killing the president was absent, the experimental conditions (moving vehicle, bouncing targets) were challenging.
• ⚖️ Robertson believes that if Beck could make the shots under those conditions, Oswald could have as well, despite other factors.

Future Recreations

• 💡 Beck expressed interest in recreating the "Butler shooting," which he believes would be a much simpler shot to make.
• 🎯 Both Beck and Robertson agreed that the Butler shooting is likely achievable by almost anyone.
